The artests the dreamers of this world.
And you can do that all in the same way through art and stuff like that. I'm not saying we should have sports. I'm just saying that it's heavily funded and it gets more priority than the other creative arts and the other creative things in this world that I think that we need. And it's a shame when they close down theaters and theaters are struggling to make it and there's artists that are trying to make money and can't do it
I think it's beautiful that you teach the kids that you work with your knowledge and that you know what? You're probably changing your life. It's a beautiful thing. Great post. And I just wanted to point out that your post is at 444. There you go. Angel number 44. 44. Also, the time that I was born was 440 for anyway, I hope you're having a fantastic day, and I just wanted to say I love this post. And agreed. Bye

And in that regard that then places children who come from a different socioeconomic background at a disadvantage because not everyone is able to receive a scholarship, right? So then these kids then have to figure out, our families have to figure out how to expose their children to arts and music in a creative way. And then it will take a whole nother swell cast to talk about sports and the influence of sports and the impact of sports on the black and brown community

This country focused so much on sports now. When I was growing up, it was the arts, it was music appreciation, it was theater, making people think outside the box. Right? But money, sports go hand in hand. And I do believe that we need a reawakening bring back the art. It's up to us to say, Wait, time out. Money should be funded into these programs to develop these interests that children may have

Now, my children, yeah, I did. I paid attention. But I remember my son's artwork. I remember being in that classroom, creating beautiful music with my other classmates. That's what the art can leave a lasting impression. I remember going to the museum and seeing exhibits, field trips to explore, seeing street performers. It's a beautiful thing. It's a beautiful thing to see live acts, to see somebody passionate. I used to play violin

I loved I loved your response and your story. It was fantastic. I was wondering if it you know, with all this stuff going on and stuff, it just seems like we're a society that does those things. Keep your response. It was great to get it. And kids suffer in schools, like you said, because of that and stuff. I think I went out for sports. I went out for track. I think that was the only one I went out for

A sense of calmness, a sense of belonging. I don't know why I'm so passionate about that, but I am. I really, truly am. Because I think that's important that we put the arts back, front and center, where it should be. You have a sports segment. Why don't you have an art segment that's five minutes, ten minutes, whatever. To talk about the art, we talk about the lack of programs. But how about a book?

And you're right, we should put the art in the center and come up with ideas like yours and volunteering yourself and hey, I volunteer myself. How's that sound? I just enjoyed it. I loved your response. I loved that idea. I think it's brilliant. We should find a way to do this. We can come up with our own show, right? I mean, that would be really cool, right? So, yeah, I loved your response

That's one big thing I want to start working on is writing more, having more data, and I guess, like qualitative work to prove the arts do so much more. They do so much for students and for not even just kids, but adults, like everyone. Yeah, I am with you on that, and specifically with the sports. I grew up in high school. I was, of course, in the drama class and doing all the plays

But before that, when I was in high school, it was just like I went to the teacher and I said, how is it that he gets an A when, one, he's on the football team, he misses classes, and two, he probably doesn't study, and three, if you listen to him talk, you can tell he's not learning. I mean, when he talked, he was like, oh, he sounded stupid
